Does this happen with any workflow? Or even the simplest ones?
I have tried with 2017.1.6435 Community edition(Win 10 Pro) and it takes about 5 seconds to load from Projects.
Also, the copy-paste is instantly. Maybe a machine restart will help?
Is your workflow stored locally or in a shared or network location? Do note that most corporate environments sync user documents. Try directly on your local drive in a new folder and see if there’s a difference.
Files from the Project tab open quickly when project files are not version controlled (SVN is not active in the project tab) - again, UiPath developers should make it an option to DISABLE UiPath SVN - it creates too much problems and lags, it’s better to take care of versioning yourself.
The copy/cut of an activity is still present when files are not SVN-ed. UiPath Studio freezes for about 10s after clicking ‘copy’. Pasting is all good.
I’m facing the same behaviour with Academy 2 / Assignment 2.
Maybe UiPath gets riot when targeting an “angular-like” application, those that renews the content of the objects without changing the page…
It seems that the UiPath module in charge of UI Elements Recognition does not know where the objects are, or there are a lot more of objects to identify and, after an internal timeout of 230 seconds", returns the “most closer one” ( which uses to be the one you need, obviously ).
But, this behaviour, when in a for-each loop is squizzing.
The first iteration seems to go fine, but after that, the rest is slower than a human.
I would suggest UiPath people to revisite the UI Element Recognition module to solve his annoying functionality.
